ACYS Spirit United Competitive Soccer Program

ACYS Spirit United Competitive is one of the fastest growing Soccer Clubs in Central Florida, headed by a Program Director, Director of Coaching, Technical Director and professional coaching staff possessing a wide range of playing experience and coaching licenses from USSF, UEFA and NSCAA. This experienced staff will lead the many competitive programs being offered in the fall: such as the Elite, Premier, Select, and Crossover level programs with our Elite and Premier levels being the most competitive. The Spirit United program has a progression curriculum designed to challenge the individual while maximizing team success in an enjoyable and competitive environment. Our ultimate aim is to develop each player to their full potential using age appropriate coaching while experiencing team success at multiple levels within Spirit United.

The Elite Program curriculum will center on the development and refinement of individual technique across the spectrum of core skills such as passing, ball control, dribbling, finishing, and overall ball mastery. The emphasis on ball familiarity will be delivered through coaches combining detailed instruction, demonstration, and individual exploration. This program is designed specifically for high-level players who will participate in the more competitive tournaments and showcases. Players within this program will practice three to four days per week with professionally licensed coaches and trainers. In order to compete against clubs and teams of the same skill level, additional travel will be required. Lastly, it is recommended these teams compete at the State Cup Level Tournaments within the State of Florida and Florida State League games.
